TvXi'miJCTOX, May 2. The Senate galleries
presehled an liflttsually animated appearance at
the opening 'tpf .yesterday's session, "being
crowded tf.h spectators, principally ladle-,
drawn by tie anripuncement of n:speech by Mr.
Ingalls in rtponse to Mr. Voorbees' invective
of last Wcdacday and iy the prospect at a bit

of all the groat ciul as well as military leaders
in the late irar.who retained their allegiance to
the Democratic; party. Fitz John Porter bad
been one of'thosc military leaders who retained
allegiance tlb.th.'c Democratic party, and he with
in the last fourklmonths (although he had been
dishonorably dismissed from the service and
had been resiurud by the action of the Demo

the battleof Fredericksburg. History had, pro

ihcSenatorrfrom Indiana would not be able to
place him irrthn categorv with Napoleon, Han

American people,
As to General Hancock, ho also, Mr. Ingalls
said. wa. ondof the military leaders who were
true to the Dertibcracy. His martial career was
jne of the imperishable heritages of American
dory. He marched and triumphed. He filled
the abjs,- ot-lame with names which would bo

J tut notwithstanding his magnificent and un-pp:n-M-hablc
career, the American people
vcosmzed his hostility to the reconstruction

lisoreditable to their intelligence or their can

Mr. Ingalls, continuing, said: "Mr. Presi

Democrat, was fighting tiic battle of Antietam;

lef? He (Ingalls) had had a conversation with
President Grant shortly after the issuing or wai
celebrated proclamation and had asked him if
he thought there was going to be any trouble.
General Grant had paused a moment, and irith.
H'haVoiiberBte-niethlTrhichxhar3i;ieitwaTi1
ntterances replied: "No, I do not think there is
going to be any trouble but itfhas been one
rule of my life to be always ready." AmL&dd
edMr. Ingalls with solemnity, he was ready.
In" obedience to some mysterious impulse
troops, parks of artillery and munitions of
war had begun to come to the capital, and
the agitation of the Democratic party became
extreme, because if there was any thlnff that
would turn the average Democrat inside out
with Indignation it was the .sight oi a Federal
soldier in blue "uniform. Laughter. The 100,-,
000 "unarmed Kentuckian6" had not made their
appearance and the count had prooeeded, not
withstanding the indignation it the Democrats
at the result of their own device. The people
were perpetually reminded that the Republican
party was guilty of an enormous and gigantio
fraud in the election and seating ot Mr. Hayes.
Mr. Cleveland had apparently a warranty deed
for the seat which he occupied, and yet (com
pared with the title which Mr. Hayes had to
his seat) he was In possession of stolen goods
and the receiver was as bad as the thief; in the
court of justice andlair conscience he had never
been elected at all. He had. been counted
into office by a partisanship between
Dick Turpin and Uriah. Heep,- foot-pads and
sneak thieves Cartouche and Pecksniff; and
it was some consolation to know that in that,
partnership these apostates and renegades had'
lost their share of the swag. Laughter and
applausel. The country bad still against It the
Southern Confederacy. It was confronted with
153 votes of the solid South, as it had been at
every election since that of Mr. Hayes. The
solid South was the Confederacy.'and the suc
cessor the Democratic party meant the suc
cess of the Confederacy, which -was to-day as
much an organized, active, aggressive force in
politics as in 1801, and In the previous time. ,
Slavery was dead and secession was dead, but
all the ideas, all the impulses, all the purposes
and mtcnti6ns of secession remained. He hon
ored and admired, but regretted and deplored
the constancy or the South to that idea; its
loyalty and fidelity to the leader under
whom it fought, and its determination to
reunite and reconstruct the history of its conn
try 60 that it would be able to say to the gener
ations which were to come that, while it was
ot erthrown by overwhelming numbers in tho
field, yet tvithm twenty-five years after'the, war
closed its leaders had been restored to power.
In this connection, be asked who Lucius Quin
tius Curtius Lamar was, and said he never was
suspected of being a lawyer. Laughter. His
bitterest enemy had never accused him of that.
He never had been admitted to the bar of the
Supreme Court, on whose bench he was ap-1
pointed. He never had tried a reported case in
any tribunal. State or National, for years. It
was an open secret that the President at one
time peremptorily refused to appoint him. Ho
asked what necessity there had been for the
President to affront the loyal sentiment of the
country by placing on the bench ot the Supreme
Court a man who was not a lawyer and
never had beon, and who had called
Abraham Lincoln a buffoon, and why,
of all men, the South had selected him
and forced him on a reluctant President and a
reluctant people. It was because Mr- Lamar
was the nearest and dearest friend and repre
sentative ot Jefferson Davis. There was no
other explanation of it. If that was not true,
then his nomination was a farce and a burlesque,
w ithout excuse and without explanation.
Mr. Ingalls then referred to a speech made in
the House of Representatives in 18T9 by Mr.
Hlackburn, declaring it to be the purpose and
intention of the Democratic party to keep on
until it wiped out from the statute book the last
vestige of war legislation. He said that within
the next few years the Supreme Court would
be entirely reconstructed. Two of the Asso
ciate Justices were already past the retiring
age, and if that tribunal was to pass hereafter
on the war legislation all knew what the re
sult would be. There, could be no question
about it.
The speaker next took up' the speech of
Henry R. Jackson at Macon, Ga., in the presence
of Jefferson Davis, a speech, which had the
effect, he said, of defeating the Democratic
party of Ohio by an immense majority, and the'
inflcence of which was so 'palpable that Judge
Thurman had denounced Jackson as an old
tramp and an old fool,, and General Gordon, of
Georgia, had immediately set out for Cincinnati
in his special car to try to counteract it, and in
order to show that there was no bloody chasm
between the North antL South, and that a
thoroughly fraternal'feelmg prevailed, when he
men General Morgan of Ohio on a public plat
form be kissed him in the mouth, as reported in
the paper at that time, and entering his special
car went back to Georgia. (Laughter.
Passing to the question of the elections in the'
South, the speaker said that the Republican
party would have no right to complain if the
South were kept solid by fair means, but the
Democratic party there had been playing the
political game with loaded dice, had held
stacKea caras, piayea wun a coia aecK" ana
had a revolver in its boot and a bowie knife
down the back of its neck. There were, every
day, wrongs inflicted on thousands and
hundreds or thousands of men in the Southern
States, which, if inflicted by a foreign pow-er
on a single American citizen, even the
least, would have caused a declaration of
war within ninety days even with the
present Secretary of State in office.
Loud laughter. The people had an illus
tration or what was going to take place
in November next by what had jnst taken place
in Louisiana. Quiet laughter on the Demo
cratic side. He quoted a sentence from Mr.
Voorhees1 speech to the effect that the only
wonder about the Louisiana election was that
it was more than unanimous, and he said that
it was more than unanimous. The Democratic
party in the South had learned the art not only
of making elections unanimous but of making
them more than unanimous. It had learned
the art of returning a larger Democratic ma
jority than the registered vote. He wondered
himseltat its moderation in returning only a
majority of 75,000 in Louisiana, but it had been
going up since the Senator from Indiana had
spoken, and was now 83,000. What It would
amount to before the dog days, nobody could
tell.
Mr. Ingalls read letters and statements from
Republican sources detailing acts of outrage
and cheating at the Louisiana election and de
clared his belief that fair returns would have
shown Warmouth elected by a majority of 83,
OOOor&t.OOO. In closing Mr. Ingalls said that in the centu
ries to come he saw a vision of united, prosper
ous and happy America, a vast homogenous do
main of freemen, rulers of the continent from
the polar zone to the gulf, from the Atlanticjto
the Pacific, enjoying their franchises of liberty
and perpetuating the arts of peace. The people
should remember on each rccnrr.n'g day when
they celebrated those who had died that this'
country held in its fruitful and tender breast no
more priceless treasure than the consecrated
dust or those who had died in order that this
should be a government of laws and not of men,
and that liberty and constitutional government
might not perish forever from the face ot tho
earth. ;
As Mr. Ingalls sat down Mr. Blackburn asked
him to give in the Record the full and correct
extract from his (Blackburn's) speech to whieb
he had referred, and he promised to do q.
Mr. Voorhees arose and, in slow, measured,
resonant tones, remarked that the speech which
the Senate had just listened to recalled to his
mind the fable of the mountain in, labor. Two

proral from one of the galleries. He had been
walking the streets and posing-before the world
tike an old friend of his In Indianapolis in bad
health, who had said to htm that he had "been
dead, a year and was only, walking around
to save funeral expenses. Tha only criticism.
of his (Voorhees) speech which ie had seen in
tho press was that he had galvanised a corpse.
He disclaimed any purpose ofHhaJnwed. He
had made no attack upon him. bnt upon the Re
publican party. He proceeded to compare Mr.

which lie had never denied ' " ,
Mr. Voorhees declared'that he'dkt deny it

Mr. Voorhees asserted, that not one word or.

had been trampled under foot. The Senator's
insinuation that he (Voorhees) had ever been a'
member of a political secret ' society Ifie

infamously false that he did not known how to
choose' language to denounce it as such. ''' ' '
Mr. Ingalls, continuing, said the Senator from;
Indiana had written a letter for Mr. P. A. Shute,
which that gentleman took South with him and
filed in the Confederate War Depa,rtmenttjn,
support of his application for appointment as
Brigadier-General in the 'Confederate armyf

signed by citirens of Sullivan County who
stated that they were present at,a meeting on
April 6. 1SC2, when Mr. Voorhees said that
Union soldiers should go to the nearest black

by respectable citizens of Indiana, ,who,.tyei;e.,
